Alycia Nipp, 13, Murdered by Sex Offender, Police Say

Washington police say 13-year-old Alycia Nipp was murdered by a level III sex offender as she was walking home one night.

Darrin Eugene Sanford, a homeless man living in an abandoned home, is charged with murder in Nipp’s death. According to court papers, Nipp was sexually assaulted February 21 by Sanford when she cut through a field to get home. Sanford confessed to stabbing the seventh grader to death after he could not complete the “sex act.”

Her body was found in the field by her uncle on February 22.

Sanford was under “passive” GPS monitoring by authorities when he raped and killed the Thomas Jefferson Middle School student. The 30-year-old was convicted in 1998 of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes and luring minors with sexual motivation. He was sentenced probation but violated and was put in prison in January. After his release, Sanford was fitted with a GPS tracking device. His probation officer would check his whereabouts "after the fact" as opposed to real time.

The GPS tracking device helped led to his arrest in Nipp’s murder as it proved he was in the area.
